Chapter 272 A Big Shot Acting Like a Big Shot 19

However, those big directors require actors to stay on set all day until their scenes are finished.

But Song Xianyin still had to go to school, so of course she couldn't do that.

In the end, after going around in circles, they found Shen Juan again.

Song Xianyin rarely takes photos, let alone achieves the effect Shen Juan wanted.

It was an ordinary sunny day. Song Xianyin sat on a wooden bench, lost in thought. Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leaves, making her feel a little hot.

Since filming began, Shen Juan has only said one sentence to her.

The only thing that's certain is that they don't really like each other.

"Can you smile?" Shen Juan frowned.

Song Xianyin subconsciously retorted, "I don't want to laugh."

She froze after saying that. She was just trying to make money; she wasn't a real celebrity.

She looked at Shen Juan, who looked at her calmly, but the way he gripped the camera tightly betrayed his emotions.

Song Xianyin slowly forced a smile.

Shen Juan lowered his eyes and continued taking pictures.

Her smile looked worse than her crying, but she was definitely photogenic.

Shen Juan was too lazy to talk to people, while Song Xianyin was a chatterbox, but she only talked to people she knew well.

The two have been filming on and off for three or four months, and their daily conversations are pitifully few.

[Come out today.]

"No, not today. I have homework to do."

What about tomorrow?

【Tomorrow won't work either, I have a lot of homework. Maybe the day after tomorrow.】

Bring your homework tomorrow; you do yours, I'll take my pictures.

Song Xianyin had no idea what he was filming every day.

They promised to make a movie, but there was no script, and he was just taking pictures of her with a camera all by himself.

There was no communication between them. She would sit there daydreaming every day, while he would pat her on the shoulder.

"He won't become famous," Song Xianyin asserted.

But she didn't expect his first film to be a hit. At the time, she thought his family had bribed the judges.

They gradually became familiar with each other without knowing when it started.

Shen Juan thus became another emotional dumping ground for Song Xianyin.

Before, all he had to do was take pictures of her every day and let her have some emotional support, but now he also has to provide emotional value.

He doesn't like his actors having their own ideas. To be honest, the actors are just a vehicle for his expression; they are not important at all. They only need to be obedient.

He can help them win awards, and he can also direct what he wants to direct; this is his ideal state.

Song Xianyin met all the criteria, but he didn't expect that all of this was just a disguise she used on people she didn't know very well.

"How about I be the director and film you? I think you're pretty good-looking."

Shen Juan ignored Song Xianyin across from him and focused on adjusting the camera in his hand.

“Shen Juan, I think I’m starting to gain some popularity, and I think I deserve a higher salary.” Song Xianyin looked at him earnestly.

Shen Juan responded softly, "Okay."

"I'll bring the script to you tonight. Don't walk so fast after school tomorrow, I'll take you to the film set."

"Have you found all those people?" Song Xianyin asked.

"Found it, swiped it from Pete."

Since we're going to build a team, we should naturally look for a mature team.

Song Xianyin nodded.

Think about one of their movies; it was indeed quite poorly made, but it was Shen Juan who was in a sorry state.

He had to be responsible for everything and take care of every detail. During that time, he was so tired that he could fall asleep instantly.

Shen Juan was never worried about whether he could integrate well with the team.

As long as the money is in place, everyone will listen to him; there's no question of non-cooperation.

It was under these circumstances that Shen Juan made his second film, which made him a household name across the country.

However, this film did not significantly enhance Song Xianyin's career.

Shen Juan controls the direction of the entire film. He doesn't want anything to get out of control. In his films, it's very difficult for actors to break out of their niche.

However, having acted in Shen Juan's films is an absolutely outstanding experience on his resume.

Both of them were keenly aware of this.

While filming the later movies, Song Xianyin had already started reading the scripts that Hollywood had given her.

She needs scripts that benefit her, not symbols of a particular director.

"Is there anything you want to film?"

Song Xianyin subtly tugged at her coat, covering the script.

"what?"

Shen Juan sat opposite her, paused for a moment, and said, "Do you have a script you like? We can make our next movie based on that."

This period was the most delicate time in their relationship.

Song Xianyin was dubbed Shen Juan's go-to leading lady, and press releases flooded the media. In every interview, people would ask her how she could be so lucky.

Her name is forever tied to Shen Juan's name, and she will always be overshadowed by his.

Song Xianyin never mentioned this incident, but every time someone asked her those questions, she really wanted to throw the microphone at Shen Juan and the host.

Song Xianyin lowered her head, not really wanting to talk to him: "Let's talk about it later. I don't know what to do next. I probably don't want to be an actress forever."

Shen Juan looked at her quietly.

How could she not want to continue being an actress?

No one knew better than him how much she loved being in the spotlight; she enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

“Those press releases have already been suppressed, and the idea for the new script isn’t new, but when I showed it to you back then, you didn’t seem very interested in it.”

Song Xianyin responded softly, "I like it again now."

She didn't care at the time, but now she hates the feeling of being constantly suppressed.

"So we'll start filming right after this movie is over?" Shen Juan lowered his voice.

He looked at the sullen Song Xianyin in front of him and had an indescribable feeling.

From the start of filming this movie, her mood was off; she was listless and barely spoke to him, sometimes even avoiding him.

Song Xianyin didn't say anything, she just tugged at the decoration on her coat.

Actually, she really wanted to say, "Why don't they break up?"

She's not happy at all here. Everyone thinks she can't do without Shen Juan. She thinks she's a good actress and would be fine anywhere.

She doesn't like people saying she's someone's go-to leading lady.

Shen Juan could tell from her silence that she didn't want to film anymore.

"Why are you silent again? It's fine if you want to go to Hollywood to make movies, I might as well go and learn from you."

They are really good at creating stars.

Originally, everything would have been fine if Shen Juan hadn't contacted her, but he insisted on coming to find her, and now things have become so awkward.

She retorted angrily, "What? Why aren't you saying anything again? It's because I'm angry! Do you expect me to smile when I'm angry?"

Seeing her like this, Shen Juan breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "Are you the one who's forcing a smile or am I?"

When I'm unhappy, I stop talking.
